Introduction

NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 680 was introduced just weeks ago and has taken the enthusiast market by storm. It offers great performance at significantly reduced power consumption. NVIDIA's dynamic overclocking algorithm works well and provides a nice speed boost for the card. We are now seeing the first custom GTX 680 board designs pop up.

Palit's GeForce GTX 680 JetStream uses a custom PCB and triple fan cooler. The company also included a generous clock increase to 1085 MHz base clock and 1575 MHz memory. In terms of pricing Palit is sticking with the reference design pricing of $499.
